Bulky Waste Pickup

Before throwing out useful items from your garage or basement, consider donating them to charity or holding a garage sale. Old magazines and newspapers can be recycled, as can corrugated cardboard and many types of plastic and metal containers.
For other items, remember, as an Oro Loma residential customer you are entitled to two free bulky waste pickups per calendar year. Pickup is by appointment only. Call Waste Management at (510) 613-8710 at least two weeks in advance to schedule your date. Click HERE to see the confirmation card that you will receive in the mail.
